[wp-hackers] Help getting started with XML-RPC and Custom Post Types

[Eric Mann]

Andrew,

There's a separate mailing list for XML-RPC stuff:
http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-xmlrpc

That said ... you can't *add* a custom post type via XML-RPC.  The custom
post type needs to be defined by a plugin on the site you're posting to,
otherwise it won't stay around after the request is complete.

But if you are writing a plugin to create your own XML-RPC methods (that
sounds like what you're trying to do), here's a tutorial that would be a
good starting place:
